- Able and willing (in the Investigator's opinion) to comply with all study requirements.
- Willing to allow the Investigators to discuss the volunteer's medical history with their GP

- Travel to a clearly malaria endemic locality during the study period or within the preceding six months
- Use of immunoglobulins or blood products (e.g. blood transfusion) in the last three months
- Receipt of any vaccine in the 30 days preceding enrolment, or planned receipt of any other vaccine within 30 days following each study vaccination, with the exception of COVID-19 vaccines, which should not be received between 14 days before to 7 days after any study vaccination
- Receipt of an investigational product in the 30 days preceding enrolment, or planned receipt during the study period
- Concurrent involvement in another clinical trial involving an investigational product or planned involvement during the study period
- Prior receipt of an investigational vaccine likely to impact on interpretation of the trial data, as assessed by the Investigator
- Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient state, including HIV infection; asplenia; recurrent, severe infections and chronic (more than 14 days) immunosuppressant medication within the past 6 months (inhaled and topical steroids are allowed)
- History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine

- Seropositive for hepatitis C virus (antibodies to HCV) at screening (unless volunteer has taken part in a prior hepatitis C vaccine study with confirmed negative HCV antibodies prior to participation in that study, and negative HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) PCR at screening for this study)
- Volunteers unable to be closely followed for social, geographic or psychological reasons.
- Any clinically significant abnormal finding on biochemistry or haematology blood tests, urinalysis or clinical examination. Blood test abnormalities will be assessed as per the laboratory adverse event table in Appendix A (table 8). In the event of abnormal test results deemed to be clinically significant, confirmatory repeat tests may be requested. Procedures for identifying laboratory values meeting exclusion criteria are described in Appendix A.
- Any other significant disease, disorder, or finding which may significantly increase the risk to the volunteer because of participation in the study, affect the ability of the volunteer to participate in the study or impair interpretation of the study data
- Inability of the study team to contact the volunteer's GP to confirm medical history and safety to participate
